A naturally expressive English white with a gentle spritz, produced by Sharpham Wines in Devon as part of the “Don’t Feed the Ponies” range at Tipley Hill. Crafted in a col fondo style, it reflects a minimal-intervention approach shaped by the cool-climate conditions of the Dart Valley.
Tasting Notes:
Pale and lightly hazy in appearance, the wine shows fresh aromas of green apple, lemon peel and elderflower, supported by subtle floral notes and a faint creamy, lees-derived character. The palate is lively and refreshing, with crisp orchard fruit, citrus lift and a gentle, persistent effervescence. A soft textural edge from the lees adds depth, finishing clean, dry and invigorating.
Winemaking:
Made from a blend of Madeleine Angevine and Pinot Blanc, this wine is bottled with a small amount of residual fermentation to create a natural spritz. It is unfiltered and unfined, retaining its lees sediment, and is intended to be gently shaken before serving to integrate the natural cloudiness. Crafted with minimal intervention to preserve freshness and varietal expression.
Food Pairing:
Best served well chilled. Works beautifully with light antipasti, seafood, crisp salads and salty snacks, where its freshness and subtle texture bring balance and lift.
ABV: 12%
